How does tool apply to your curricular area?

‍Putting texts in Wordle can help us to visualize what is important. We can have students insert the text of their papers through Wordle. Through Wodle, students can figure out what words they use excessively. Teachers can use reverse Wordle with two or more texts and the words will come up with respect to frequency. Then, students can determine which Wordle corresponds to what text. You can also use Wordle to debate a text by having students support their opinion for why they said Odyssey was extraordinary or dull. They can also discuss what themes are present by debating why some students said it was about love or subjection of women. Also, discuss what characters are most important according what names show up most frequently.
